Native Skype Client Bringing Video Chat to iPad? [Updated]
A new video promoting a theretofore unreleased Skype for iPad app and demonstrates a stylish interface and video chat capabilities. The video,
allegedly posted to Skype's YouTube channel and then quickly removed, was captured by Twitter user

Skype for iPhone supports voice chat, voice calling, and instant messaging but does not include a native iPad client, instead running in pixel doubled mode.
Update: TUAW confirms details of the new Skype for iPad app in an interview with Skype VP Rick Osterloh. There is no estimate of when the app will be available.

100% agree and don't know why anyone would be stupid enough not to understand this fundamental problem with Facetime.
Can you imagine if the iPhone could only work with other iPhone users, and you could not ring or text anyone from your iPhone if they had a different brand of mobile?
Yes, that would be stupid and idiotic and doomed to fail, well guess what, that's what Facetime is.
All Apple has to do is change Facetime to it works across platform and problem over, they could possibly rule the market. But will they? No, probably not.
Shame :(
